Solution

The correct option is C Walter cannon
Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant and stable internal environment by an organism. This term was first described in 1865 by Claude Bernard and coined by Walter Bradford Cannon in 1930. The word is derived from Greek where 'home' means 'similar' and 'stasis' means 'stable'. So, the correct answer is "Walter Cannon'.
